PELHAM— Kai’s Koffee and the adjacent businesses in its plaza are welcoming trick-or-treaters on Halloween, starting at 5 p.m. Most of the shops will be giving out candy and other treats.

Kai’s Koffee House, Neighborhood CPAP, Linda’s Hair Salon, Boost Mobile and Nails Max, all located in Victoria Plaza on Pelham Parkway, will all participate.

“We tried to do something safe for the children and do something to get the community involved,” said Stacie Noss, manager at Kai’s Koffee. “It is all about the community. We try to give back as much as the community gives to us.”

Each of the participating businesses will have signs and posters up on the doors and windows, and everyone is encouraged to dress up for the occasion.

This is Kai’s second year participating in the community trick-or-treat event, and Noss said she will be also be dressed up while serving coffee to customers.

”I think a lot of people really do enjoy coming to Kai’s,” she said. “It’s a very laid back environment. (It’s nice) just to be able to have something that you don’t have to worry so much bringing your kids by. We try to watch out for everybody. We try to have a little something different for everybody.”

At Kai’s Koffee, kids will be given free hot chocolate, or Spooky Brew, with every purchase of a latte or mocha. Noss said it’s a fun event that everyone seems to enjoy.

The whole point is just to give back to the community and join together for some holiday fun. Noss said Kai’s has also been displaying support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month with pink coffee wraps and bows.

“We are just a local business and we’re just trying to get the community involved,” Noss said.
